Full Description

This examination focuses on the core principles underlying Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) as a tool for evaluating environmental impacts. Students will articulate theories regarding life cycle stages, from raw material extraction to end-of-life disposal.

The relevance of LCA in contemporary environmental engineering cannot be overstated. Mastery of LCA enables professionals to critically assess and mitigate adverse environmental effects, shaping sustainable engineering practices.

Candidates will be evaluated on their oral comprehension of LCA theories and their ability to communicate their significance in engineering contexts effectively.

Students may also discuss real-world scenarios where LCA applications have influenced sustainable design and policy.
